I love doilies, mostly because of my grandmother and great grandmother. I knew I had a piece of a doily in my stash. I scored the cardstock, stamped a flourish and then attached the piece of doily (I believe it was part of a larger project that was never finished), then added some of her buttons and a modern fairy charm. She used to let me play with and sort her old jewelry, buttons and bits and bobs. I never tired of it. She was a fabulous grandmother, along with my grandfather too. Everything I love (books, postage stamps, antiques, tea parties, jewelry, finery), I love because of them.
